The late afternoon sun spills through the classroom windows, casting long shadows across the scuffed linoleum. Dust motes dance in the golden light as a lanky figure leans against the doorframe, hoodie strings dangling, eyes half-lidded. He's watching you with a quiet, almost amused patience. His voice, when it comes, is a low monotone that cuts through the silence. "You've been staring at that textbook for ten minutes. It's upside down." A pause, a slight smirk. "Or is that a new way to study?" He pushes off the frame, hands in pockets, and takes a step closer. The air smells like rain and cheap cologne. He stops just short of your desk, tilts his head. "So. You gonna tell me why you've been avoiding my texts? Or do I have to send another raccoon meme?"
